"Sell via affiliate marketing!"

Affiliate marketing is *very* big business. It is thought that by 2002, 25% of online sales will have originated on affiliate sites. Many online businesses now run affiliate programs. It *is* possible to make a lot of money every month simply from a link to an affiliate program.

It is possible, but not that simple!

You need to have a decent amount of traffic to your site; you need to choose programs that have a good fit with your website; you need to promote affiliate program well (sometimes called pre- selling!); and you need to join an affiliate program:

i) of a site that makes sale, and ii) that pays a good rate of commission.

(Ideally, you would want to make a lifetime commission on referred customer on all future sales too!)

Amazon definitely makes sale (it's well-designed, has excellent customer service, and hence has very high conversion rates). But it pays a maximum of 15% commission, and you ONLY make commission on a previously-referred customer IF they click your affiliate link in future - no lifetime commission here!

If you're serious about selling via affiliate marketing - and it really is a great way to supplement your income, whilst improving site content - then I recommend you sign-up for Ken Evoy's NEW 5-day Affiliate Masters e-mail course.

Thanks for your immediate attention. YourISP security

When you visit site it shows a username and password prompt. You enter your username and password, which sends you to an "incorrect password - try again" screen. You hit "continue" button, which places you on REAL ISP site. Now when you enter your username and password, you are, of course, logged in. You are greatly relieved to find that your account data has not been changed and think nothing else of issue. Of course, you just gave your username and password to a hacker!

And that's all that social engineering is about - gaining your trust, getting your vital data, and abusing that data.

How do you protect against this? Be aware that it exists and don't respond to these kind of things. If someone asks you for your password, then tell them to buzz off. Nobody needs to know your password for any reason. Let me repeat: DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD TO ANYONE FOR ANY REASON. THERE IS NOT A VALID REASON FOR ANYONE TO NEED IT. If person who asked really works where he says he works, then believe he, he can ALREADY get to your account. Why on earth would he be asking you for your username and password?

If you think email or whatever might be accurate, then call ISP or navigate to their site yourself (don't use anything from email or letter that your received - use menu's and screens provided by ISP). For example, say you get a letter from your ISP saying to change your password immediately. It has a phone number and URL. Throw letter away without reading either. Now, find your ISP phone number and URL yourself - perhaps in your browser help menu or in manual or letter that arrived when you signed on. This bypasses anything that might be wrong in letter or email that you received.

If you do suspect that you've received a social engineering attack, be sure that you notify your ISP, MIS department or whoever needs to know. The only way this kind of criminal can be caught is if crime is reported quickly and accurately.
